The Alpha King’s Heart: The King’s Mate
: Chapter 78

‘We all met at a young age, so young and we were rogues that time,’ Alpha Mars’s voice was soft and his eyes wandered back in time. I didn’t know my parents were rogues.

‘Feel free to add, beta Steven. Looks like you know this story too,’ Azriel said in a command.

‘Meryl and Ben weren’t always rogues though, they came from two powerful packs down south but the packs were warring hence their union wouldn’t be accepted so they ran away,’ he said.

As he walked us through their childhood, I was missing my parents, wishing they could have told me all this themself. After living three years of their lives as rogues, they stumbled across this pack, their Alpha was an old cruel drunk who was unjust and mistreated his members so Steven, a pack member begged my father to challenge the tyrannical Alpha because he saw how strong dad was. And he was right, my father won the challenge.

‘If he killed Alpha then, why didn’t he take over the position?’ I asked, my voice trembling slightly.

‘If they did, it would be easy for their families to find them and disrupt the life they built so they put me in their stead and they helped me as beta,’ Alpha Mars said.

‘And you killed them, they were your friends!’ I accused bitterly. My fierce aura surrounded the office and made them whimper. Their wolves were submitting to me. Grayson tried to comfort me by placing a hand on my shoulder but I shot him a glare and he stepped back sheepishly, his neck hanging low.

All my parents wanted to do was lead a peaceful and quiet life away from the families that wished to separate them.

‘Alphas… Meryl and Ben were both Alpha blood and you’re a pure Alpha female,’ the beta whispered as realization dawned on him, unable to believe this. I only gave him a dirty look. Could it be that Beta Steven planned their death so that they shouldn’t claim what was rightfully theirs in the future? With a heavy heart, I asked him,

‘Is that why you killed my parents? So that they shouldn’t take back what’s rightfully theirs one day?’ He looked offended by my question and his eyes darkened.

‘Are you accusing me of something, girl?’ Steven’s tone was defensive.

His hands were now trembling and I mentally called unto my wolf. I wanted to be ready for anything. Even Azriel was silently sizing up Alpha Mars. I stood up from my seat and casually walk towards him, making him back away, his face was full of fear and guilt.

‘Did you plan my parents’ death? You were the one that found the so-called evidence,’ I said.

‘This was my pack, I was the one who asked him to kill my Alpha, he should have put me as Alpha!’ he shouted and I ducked in time just as his claws extended to scratch my face.

‘This was my pack, I was the one who asked him to kill my Alpha, he should have put me as Alpha!’ he shouted and I ducked in time just as his claws extended to scratch my face. All hell broke loose and I scratched his face, my claws were longer than his and did enough damage, his face was covered in blood. The Alpha attempted to stop me but Azriel punched him several times and grabbed him by the throat, for someone who didn’t have a wolf, he was strong.

‘Stay fucking down!’ Azriel growled at Mars.

‘No, everyone, let’s be cordial!’ growled Grayson. He was panicking now. Silently telling his father to stay down and fix this mess but it couldn’t be fixed, Steven just confessed to killing my parents and I wasn’t going to let it go.

Fur appeared on the beta’s skin and before he could shift, I grabbed his neck and threw him towards the door, breaking it. The noise alerted the members and they all came running out.

Beta Steven was holding his face, trying to get up but I kicked him again in the stomach. He let out an angry growl and he kicked me in the gut, making me fly and hit against the wall. I grunted in pain and stood up quickly but he had fully shifted and he lunged at me, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and my vision was blurry. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

There was a lot of noise, it was so loud. I shook my head and as my vision came back, I found myself in the large courtyard.

‘Adira, are you alright?’ Azriel cupped my face. I blinked severally and stood up, facing the brown wolf as he approached me.

‘Leave,’ I said in a quiet stable tone. Azriel wasn’t going to leave me to face this wolf alone so I had to command him.

‘Leave, Azriel,’ he still shook his head. I inhaled and looked at him gently.

‘I need to do this for my parents and me,’ I whispered. I also didn’t want him to get hurt because he had no wolf. ‘I can handle him, trust me,’
